I'm doing a rehab that started right when COVID started, so I'm having a hard time refinancing into what used to be a good deal. The guy who was going to do my loan at 5.5% to 6% told me last week that they're seeing it at 7-8% right now. A couple weeks ago, the market was completely locked up. Don't know when it will be back to "normal" or if this is the new normal.

And it wasn't a couple weeks ago... the market has been back and lenders have been funding the rental sector for 3 months.

Post: Wholesaling in WA. Where to start?

@Brendan Bruno I am not sure which law it was, I just ran across it on the county website. They say they will take about 5 days to respond but I will keep you posted!

@Jay Hinrichs well then wish us luck! I didn't think Washington the easiest place to begin but I am glad I went for it anyway. It's much easier to get out there and learn when you're local then starting in a state you are unfamiliar with. I plan on virtual wholesaling eventually but nothing beats hands on learning.

Brendan, 

I’m new to wholesaling as well so I don’t have much advice on how things work around here but I’m in Snohomish County so wanted to say hey 👋. I just requested some records from the court house today (tax delinquency records and code violations) and I noticed that there’s a law for some information that you have to sign a form saying that you won’t use it for commercial purposes. So I’m not sure if I’m going to get turned down (not sure if what I requested requires I sign that yet). 

I have yet to find any local wholesalers who are actively wholesaling so I’d love to keep in touch and share experiences.

Hey Amber! I know this is a old thread but I was wondering if things got better for you. I’m in Snohomish County wanting to start wholesaling myself.

Wholesaling with a website or direct mail? Does anyone have experience with both? I’m wondering which has the best results. I’d prefer a website so if anyone has had success this way please share your experience!

@Joe Kooner

Hello! I see this post is a few years old, did you ever get started with wholesaling in Washington? I’m trying to get started myself so I’d love to hear any advice you may have!

They do have a lot of compliments on the BBB but that is for their seminars and retreats. They are Mainly complaining about not making money after the education.

I’m interested too but skeptical. I really like the website that you can make through the program.
